Value Collection SM32P0024 Taper Pipe Reamer 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM32P0024 is a taper pipe reamer designed to finish and size threaded pipe holes to the correct taper for leak-free pipe connections. Built from high-speed steel with a bright finish, this reamer features a spiral flute geometry with left-hand spiral and right-hand cut. The reamer diameter measures 0.606 inches at the large end and 0.54 inches at the small end, with a 1-1/16-inch flute length and an overall length of 2-9/16 inches. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and hand tap wrenches. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this tool when reaming 3/8-inch pipe fittings and pipe ends prior to threading or assembly.

This taper pipe reamer is suited for residential and commercial plumbing and pipefitting applications where pipe bores require finishing to ANSI/ASME taper pipe thread standards. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe materials. The spiral flute design helps clear chips during the reaming operation, reducing the likelihood of chatter and improving hole finish quality in both through and blind bore situations. Typical use cases include preparing pipe couplings, fittings, and valves for assembly in water, gas, and mechanical piping systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for 3/8-inch taper pipe reaming applications in plumbing and pipefitting operations.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working under applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the bore is free of burrs before beginning the reaming operation. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the pipe material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Do not force or side-load the reamer, as this can cause premature tool wear or bore distortion.
